The Rain Sensing system has protective features
for the wiper blades and arms. It will not operate
under the following conditions:
Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit — The Rain
Sensing feature will not operate when the igni -
tion is first placed in the ON position, when the
vehicle is stationary and the outside tempera -
ture is below 32°F (0°C), unless the wiper
control on the windshield wiper lever is moved,
the vehicle speed becomes greater than 3 mph
(5 km/h) or the outside temperature rises
above freezing.
Neutral Wipe Inhibit — The Rain Sensing feature
will not operate when the ignition is ON, when
the transmission gear selector is in the
NEUTRAL position and the vehicle speed is less
than 3 mph (5 km/h), unless the wiper control
on the windshield wiper lever is moved, the
vehicle speed is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h) or the gear selector is moved out of the NEUTRAL
position.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles
equipped with the Remote Start system, Rain
Sensing wipers are not operational when the
vehicle is in the Remote Start mode. Once the
operator is in the vehicle and has placed the
